I get chills when I hear something written centuries ago and it reaches through time to touch us in a present-day performance. I always think about the composer, about what he would think if he could have known that hundreds of years later we'd be tapping our toes and humming the music that he first heard in his mind.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-9287400090666574192008-02-04T02:40:00.000+02:002008-02-04T02:40:00.000+02:00yes... yes... yes... can you hear me singing???yes... yes... yes... can you hear me singing???Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101643429585271655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-17425638584274163172008-02-04T01:53:00.000+02:002008-02-04T01:53:00.000+02:00Absolutely it is Robin!
